the faa stepped up and levied the fine that they did. >> reporter: southwest airlines issued this statement saying having fully resolved the repair issue some time ago none of the items raised in the faa letter affect aircraft currently being operate bd by southwest airline. >> it takes only a tiny crack around a rivet hole to turn into, during a flight, to turn into a large crack, which will result in a failure. >> reporter: a failure that could mean a hole in the plane while it's in the air, something that has happened to southwest airlines on several occasions over the past decade. in 2011, the fuselage skin of a southwest boeing 737 ripped off at 34,000 feet near yuma, arizona, injuring some of the people on board. and in 2009, a southwest 737

landed in west virginia with a football-sized hole in the fuselage. bay area passengers we talked to today were surprised to learn of the allegations. >> i fly just about every other week. so i don't have much choice, but sure, you think about those things. you hope that they have the passengers' best interests in mind. >> i'm glad i'm flying alaska today. >> reporter: some question whether the $12 million fine the faa is pursuing will be enough to get southwest airlines to do a maintenance makeover. aviation experts say because southwest airlines flies a lot of short haul flights, if 737s are even more vulnerable to deterioration because of the landings and takeoffs. marianne favro, nbc bay area news. we have seen how this problem can turn deadly. this is a photograph that show as aloha jet back in 1988. the skin ruptured and a flight

san francisco police say this scar on the back of the defendant's head is the result of a struggle with one of his victims. bu guy is accused of kidnapping and coercing newly arrived immigrants into sex acts. and prosecutors say he did it all while dressed as a police officer. during his preliminary hearing, he sat in a wheelchair. they say he and an accomplice who authorities have yet to identify went into a bar in the mission district dressed as officers in 2008, the victim told investigators he was having drinks with an acquaintance who also worked as a day laborer. when bu guy told them they were being arrested for being drunk they were led out of the bar,

heads covered and put into a crown victoria and driven to a house. the suspect then took both men home, got them drunk and attempted trying to sexually assault them. the victim fought with him before hitting him with a wrench and escaping. that victim didn't come forward for years, saying he feared deportation but finally reported the incident after sieg the defendant twice in public places. he also submitted photos of the defendant which officers used to identify the defendant as their suspect. they looked for that other victim but have not seen him since the alleged incident. well, some talented kids are spending the summer dabbling in video production. they have the ability to put their own tv shows together.

profit last year of $10 million. that's six years after it first took flight in 2007. earlier in the newscast we talked about governor brown's visit to mexico. a lot of issues on this trip, even though it's supposed to be a trade trip. >> of course, there are official reasons and unofficial reasons to go on this trip. brown wants to expand trade with mexico. california exported $24 billion worth of goods to mexico in 2013. second only to texas by the way. brown also wants to sign environmental agreements with mexico, much as he has with china and his predecessor arnold schwarzenegger did with some canadian provinces. and lastly, he feels very deeply about this immigration issue, there's very little that the state can do about it. the responsibility lies with the federal government. >> those are all official

explanations, but you've piqued our interest. give us the unofficial reasons too. >> more than 100 people are going with the governor on this three-day trip organized by -- ding, ding, ding -- the california chamber of commerce. these guys include investors from the private sector, all these kind of folks. it will come at no cost to the taxpayers. so that's important. and if they won't say so publicly about a trip like this, it gives these people a rare opportunity to talk with governor brown on a one on one basis, away from the capital, away from the press and all these elected officials and bureaucrats and that time is very important. a trip like this helps with that keyword in politics -- access. >> that is a keyword. how will we know if the trip is actually a success and for whom

it will be a success? >> the best guess is that the governor's people and counterparts in mexico have been working on things probably announced at the end of the trip. and they could be symbolic agreements. and as for those folks accompanying the governor, most of their benefits are not likely to be publicly known. don't look for ground-holdibrow pina colada at a resort somewhere. it's going to be all business for the state. >> handled in a very low-keyway. thank you, larry. still ahead, a heart stopping moment for this mother when an out of control suv careens toward her stroller. it is the most contagious and dangerous virus in the world. i'll have the latest on the ebola outbreak spreading fast.

imagine your cell phone lasting an entire week before you need to charge it? it could happen thanks to a stanford professor. it's being called the holy grail of battery design because of its potential to decrease the charging time for your cell

phone and electric cars. a breakthrough was announced in the field with metallic lithium which is more energy efficient than the lithium ion currently in use. the challenge, the particles were unstable causing the batteries to short out and explode. they installed a hollow dome keeping the particles in check and the battery stable. >> we saw a lot of structure. normally it calls a lot of problem. in our example we saw a lot more smooth position. it's an eureka moment. >> an eureka moment indeed. but hold on. it could be several years before this new technology makes it into the marketplace. time to talk pot. legalizing marijuana may not be a black and whitish u, but one critic says there is a point you can't refute.

that kids who smoke pot will get dumber and she says the evidence is there to prove it. it is a stereotype, sam. >> it is absolutely a paramount concern for many phones concerned about this issue, and this comes on the heels of a bombshell new york times article written by its editorial board this weekend calling for the federal government to get rid of the ban on marijuana. but in that article there are legitimate concerns about the impact on the adolescent brain. how pressing are those claims? after one writer's claim we had to find out for ourselves. on national talk shows like "meet the press." it's another day. same story. >> why don't we tackle that some people can agree on, and that's marijuana. >> it is a vast social experiment. we do not know the outcome except that the best evidence is that if you would use marijuana as a teenager regularly, 8 i.q.

points. >> but is that true? teens will lose 8 i.q. points with regular usage? not according to this study, this 2012 duke university study. the most persis at any time adolescent-onset cannabis users evidenced an average 8-point decline from childhood to adult hood. so who is that referring to? >> the heaviest users, starting at 13 and using marijuana fairly regularly, run the risk on the average of losing 8 points between age 18 and 38. >> he is author of the book marijuana, what's a parent to believe. out of roughly 1,000 people followed in a massive one of its kind study who were tracked from age 13 to 38, here's what

researchers found. after 18, pot smoking doesn't reduce i. kwfrmts, but before that, smoking casually costs you on average 1 i.q. point. smoking regularly four times or more a week results in a loss on average of 3 to 6 i. kwrnlts points, not what this columnist said on "meet the press", but more concerning for parents nonetheless. that psychiatrist said losing 8 points is dropping a class of intelligence or a career. so marijuana does have an impact on the teenage brain. the general idea here is true. but the writer cherry picked the most extreme example to use. back to you. you ready for jeff ranieri? >> i'm ready for jeff, and his monsoonal moisture. >> we've got it for you today. we've got a lot going on here

across the bay area. the monsoonal moisture. it definitely felt humid out there. it's because of the humid air moving in from southern california. as we get if closer, there are a few rogue showers associated with it. to the south of gilroy. it's big news. and some of that could hold up for gilroy, morgan hill, maybe even san jose for later on tonight. we'll talk more about the pattern and why it's been lingering so long in about 30 seconds. but we want to take you out to that sty camera network. temperatures have cooled from the hottest point of the day. san francisco currently 69. and again, the first pitch is right here on nbc bay area tonight. and you can see temperatures will be right there in the upper 60s. still need a light jacket if you're getting a late start out the door. don't forget that. winds from 10 to 20 miles per hour as well. it has been all about these random showers across the bay area. a little bit of it sunday and

then showers close by today. can you see these areas of blue on the map. that's actually the mid-level moisture in the atmosphere. the source is down here in southern california and the desert southwest. it's all getting kicked off because we have high pressure sitting here. the circulation around that is pumping in the southwest winds picking up hot air from mexico and combining in with that moisture from the gulf. so hot and humid air moving in from southern california, and with that staying in place tomorrow, there is still a slight risk of thunderstorms in the forecast. i think as we head into thursday and friday we'll start to shake some of that humidity, and we'll get back to some classic, dry california air. you'll notice for tuesday, mainly sunny skies in san jose, but it's going to be a warm one. even just a touch of humidity, and it will be uncomfortable, especially in saratoga and morgan hill at 98.

anywhere from 69 along the embarcadero toward hays valley. let's take you into the tri valley, santa rosa, 86. and you head on 24 back towards walnut creek, it's going to get a lot hotter with 96 degrees, and close to 100 for livermore and pleasanton. you can get more on the forecast, including a five-day forecast at nbcbayarea.com. so monday's in the books, you guys. >> looks very nice this whole week, thanks, jeff. giants baseball, jeff mentioned, a live look at the ballpark toward that giant coke bottle. gerard moncure is at the field.

all right. the giants are on nbc bay area tonight. and with that we bring it out to gerard moncure. joins us from the field and the bottom line, the giants are in desperate need of some help. >> it's going to be better. >> you guys put it right, right there. when you're in a four-game losing streak you want to get your ace to the hill as madison bumgarner toes the leather against the pittsburg pirates. he's allowed just one earned run in his last two starts. a five-hit ball against the phillies last wednesday. things are going to get a lot tougher tonight against the bucs. >> the giants and padres open a

series toepts. and for the giants, madison bumgarner against vann worvance worley. bumgarner has had a lot of problems pitching here at home. >> you wouldn't think he would have trouble pitching here at at&t park, but it is the case. in his ten starts here, he is 4-6. with bumgarnr, he's got to get the whole thing turned around. the whole thing i'm talking about is the giant's last 24 game, they are 6-9 here in at&t. they've got to figure it out at home. they cannot have that type of win percentage. so tonight a big game for bumgarner as he tries to get a win and get this losing streak ended. >> so they try to get it turned around against andrew mckuchion and the pipirates.

let's go back to you. the a's begin their series without craig gentry. he was placed on the disabled list today with a broken right hand while billy burns gets the call up from double-a midland. a's and astros. top third, 1-0, a home run to right, fifth of the year, in the bottom third, chris carter gets a little revenge, a three-run homer. his 21st. right now, that score is tied, 3-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning. all right, talking a little hoops, the splash brothers taking their act to the vegas strip. the national's team beginning their workout in las vegas today. steph curry and klay thompson

hope to make the final 12. they have the opening exhibition against brazil at the united center on august 16. >> exciting, a little rusty at first, but we got into the flow of it. we're competing, that's the best part of this week is we're all trying to make the team and figure out how we're going to play together. but we compete along the way and make each other better. on to the gridiron, the raiders on the field in pads for the second day of training camp. some former 49ers like terrell brown. we also got to see derek karr. >> specifically, you ary in camp. i think it's important to work on your fundamentals and technique, especially for the big guys up front. we've got a lot of new guys in those particular areas, and there's a lot of coaching and technique things we need to work on. >> so our thought process was to

get some good work in pads early on in training camp. finally, comic-con took place over the weekend and vernon davis was inspired. the 49ers tight end can now be known as captain torpedo. i imagine it's a super hero that makes super hero plays on the gridiron. we'll have to see if that nickname sticks when football season gets here. but we're talking baseball tonight, and the giants have their super hero on the mound in madison bumgarner, reporting live from at&t park, gerard moncure. >> jessica's very optimistic about tonight's game. >> i am. i'm totally optimistic. >> thanks, gerard. a quick programming note, american ninja warrior will air at tv 36. running wild is on nbc bay area right after the game. >> after we pummel the pirates. >> yeah! >> bye-bye. hey, if you could be any dinosaur, which would you be?
